The answer, it seems to me, should be assessed in cultural, economic, political, and social terms.

Errr, no. The answer should be assessed purely in terms of realpolitik - we should stop supporting Israel when it is no longer in America's interests to support Israel. Not that I think this is likely to happen any time soon, but that's how the geopolitical calculus works in the real world.

Should we murder our neighbors kid when it is in our interest too? If you interests are bigger than your morality, you are in a very dangerous place.

It it always in America's interest to do the right thing, even when it's hard, or not in her immediate interest.
